Yet another rant...

Time for a Rant...

This is a followup to a rant I had done a few days ago concerning that group of Baptists from Kansas who have the gall to come here and disrupt the sanctity and dignity of the funeral of a fallen soldier.

They claim U.S. soldiers like Piper are dying because the country is being punished for its tolerance of what they see as immoral behavior, such as homosexuality.
These morons are also carrying signs stating "Thank God for 9/11" and "Thank God for IEDs," or something to a smiliar point.
There are also signs with the legend "God Hates the USA."

Message to these endearing folks: Pack up your shit, here are your rafts, go the fuck somewhere else then. Start your own nation if you hate this one so much. We don't need backwards-thinking, self-righteous, bigoted religious zealots like you.
You like IEDs so much? Allow us to toss a few into your rafts as you leave our waters.
You think 9/11 was such a momentous occasion worthy of celebration? Okay then... after you get your nation up and running, and someone performs a similar terrorist act on your soil, don't come crying to us. You earned it.

Listen up, cretins. This nation was founded on the principle of ALL MEN (and of course, women) BEING CREATED EQUAL. There are provisions for you to worship what you want the way you want, and to speak your mind... but please, you're forcing your inane hatred upon other people WHO DO NOT DESERVE IT! You violate the sanctity and dignity of a military funeral for one of your own countrymen who fell in the midst of battle. Have you no respect? Have you no pride in your nation, as a whole, faults and all?

I would not be surprised if one or more of SSGT Christopher Piper's comrades-in-arms got so fed up with your bullshit that they took a swing or two at you.
And you know what? I don't think the police will even try to stop them.
Your actions make both Christians and Americans sick. You people have no respect for your fellow countrymen.
To quote Extreme: If you don't like what you see here, get the funk out.


So I would like to dedicate one of my favorite songs by Tom Lehrer to these narrow-minded, self-righteous prigs who just can't love their fellow man (as it were)...

I rest my case.



The above ravings were the product of my own thought processes and not influenced by anyone else, save a certain Mr Miller for way of thinking and spewing forth the words.

But then again, I could be wrong.

Geekiness

Nicked from solipsistnation

"List 5 reasons why you are a geek. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a geek you are! Then pick the 5 biggest geeks you know and have them do the meme."

1. My gaming library. It's grown over the 20+ years that I've been gaming. I have 8 half-height bookshelves, all organized to each hold a certain game system or genre. Also, I usually have at least one gaming book with me in my backpack.

2. My comic book collection. Most of it is still at my parents' place, and the older ones aren't in mint condition -- they've been read! Many times over! I get comics to read, not to collect and hang on to until the Apocalypse.

3. My affinity for watching Food Network's UberGeek Emeritus, Alton Brown, and wanting to cook like him, and have his gadgetry.

4. I can write and read Tolkein's Elvish alphabet, typically when writing English in it. I haven't gotten to the point where I speak Quenya or Sindarin as of yet, though.

5. Techno-geekery. I like to know what the newest thing is, and see if it fits in with me. To that end, I'm a PalmOne geek. I won't touch anything with PocketPC or WindowsCE anymore.


Who should answer these for themselves? Anyone who wants to.
